These are the modifications he has:
Greddy Exhaust
Intake(im not sure what kind)
So you guys think we could take them?

Mustang is a drag car
Z is a touring car

As much as I hate mustangs, they are good drag cars. Zs are good at pretty much everything. If there is a corner involved, then the Z is king, but if not then Id say it could go either way. A good driver is everything.

Mustang GT stock= 260hp
300ZX TT stock= 300hp with mods about 330-340hp (yes)

If he knows how to drive he will kill him. True, gt's are drag cars but they are slow unmodded. My N/A can hang with a GT (don't know about the 02's and up) up till 3rd gear. I've ran a couple and have never been more than 1 length behind by third.

 

Stock for stock...the Z is faster...I raced one from a dig and had him the whole way INCLUDING out of the hole.

 

hmm.... i guess i must have been dealing with some cobra stangs. whatever that is... I hate fords...
TT weighs 3470lbs and has 300hp
GT stang weighs 3230lbs and has 225hp
Cobra stang weighs 3400lbs and has 305hp
hmmm.... I guess thats a modern descendent of the shelby roadsters and stangs. 225 and 305 is a hell of a difference. what I said earlier is clearly wrong. my bad. the TT will tear it up. If it were a cobra, things might be different.

Ok Thanks people.I'll go tell me friend this.Thanks Guys!

The '99+ Stang GT's are 260 hp. The Cobras up until 2003 are right there with a stock TT. But if it's a race from a roll, I'd take the Z everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Now, the new 2003 Cobras with the supercharger out of the box are putting down 365-375 rwhp stock! They will be a bit much for even a Stage 3 TT. You'll need a Stage 3 TT with test pipes and downpipes and 15 psi to run with one. You'll need race gas and 17 psi in order to beat one.

 

As tight as 375hp stock is, I like cars that can turn too. Dragging is fun but I love the twisties. Id take a Z any day over any kind of mustang for the turns.

Supercharged mustangs aww mannn....But hey if i come across one it would be a fair race.Force Induct v.s. Force Induct...YEA!!

are you kidding my best friend has a 95 5.0 mustang and i have a nonturbo Z and i hang with him he never has me by more than a car length. your friend will murder that mustang badly. the new 4.6's aren't even that fast.

 

4.6s are faster than 5.0s no question. but yeah a tt can kill any stock mustang except a cobra.

jbaran, that all depends on the driver. usually, Z drivers are better than Mustang drivers, so i think a guy that owns a TT would beat a guy with a Cobra. however, i've been behind the wheel of cars that were much slower than my opponent, but because he was a dumb kid that couldn't race correctly, i would usually beat em.

 

You obviously have not run into a 2003 Cobra because they would pound on most Z's unless the stock turbos are maxed out.

 

a supercharged 4.6 against a twin turbo 3.0. I love Zs too, but i have a vauge understanding of horse power and torque.

I kill Vettes, let alone Slutstangs... I have an AVC-r boost controller, stillen intake, hks hyper exhaust and a JWT ECU.
You guys will smoke that lil' ol' ford
